Abstract
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm is a less invasive alternative to open surgery. With the recognition of this new treatment, however, many complications, some of them life-threatening, have been reported. Short-term and mid-term results have shown that this technology is advancing and needs close follow-up. Imaging plays a major role in the evaluation of the aorta after endolumenal repair. This article reviews the roles of different imaging techniques.
